Présentation de l'équipe de France pour Belfast

France Coqs

The French are bringing five players to Belfast who recently returned from the IC11 in Australia; Thomas Urban, Mickaël Trividic, Emilien Martinez, Pascal Ivorra and Alban Schieber.

While their experience will be greatly appreciated, coach Cyril Talon says some of their best players from the IC11 either stayed on to work in Australia after the IC, or are back in Canada, where they were playing in Montréal and Toronto.

Talon adds though "The guys in the squad like Julien and Sylvain Maylie from Toulouse, Loïc Raphaël and Julien Correia from Bordeaux are very good too and wanted to come to the IC, were unable through injury or work. They are training very hard during the summer, motivated by the french 'odyssey' in Oz. So we haven't got the best team than we could have, but a good and strong team, to play a good competition and to get our ranking in Europe at 9 a side, for me in the top 6."

The French domestic scene is also growing strong, with their 2011-12 season kicking off last weekend, with Paris defeating Toulouse 111-73 and Bordeaux over Strasbourg 95-66.

EU CUP tirage au sort

Hot on the heels of the 2011 International Cup, Belfast is preparing to host a slew of European nations at the annual EuroCup.

Eighteen men's and two women's teams will contest this year's competition in what is shaping up to be the biggest and best attended EuroCup.

All four of the European Nations that competed in the AFL International Cup are also attending the EuroCup with International Cup winners and host nation, Ireland clear favourites. Ireland's women's team will also compete against Switzerland.


With the final teams confirmed, the random drawn fixture has been finalised.

Phase 1 will consist of six pools of three, with each team playing each other once.

The six pool winners will advance to the EuroCup Finals while the six pool runners-up will compete for the Tier 2 Plate. The third-placed teams will compete for pride in the bowl.

The top two ranked teams in each tier, i.e 1,2,7,8, 13 & 14 will advance directly to their respective Semi Finals, while the remaining teams play Quarter finals for the right to meet them.

All of this means that the lesser ranked teams will play a minimum of four games, while most teams will play four or five on the day, so hopefully all teams get value from the experience.

The Pools drawn for Phase one are as follows.

Pool A: Netherlands, France, Denmark
Pool B: Italy, Germany, Sweden
Pool C: Ireland, Europe, Austria
Pool D: England, Wales, Iceland
Pool E: Spain, Scotland, Finland
Pool F: Croatia, Catalunya, Russia

A full schedule of fixtures can be found on the AFL Europe tournament website.

Les Bombers représentent leur équipe mais aussi le France (ou l'inverse :)) Localement nous avons tout à faire alors que certains pays de l'Europe sont déjà en marche depuis longtemps avec de nombreuses ligues.

De notre implication dépendra notre développement et en voir les résultats des autres pays c'est vraiment jouable !!

N'oubliez pas de faire de la communication (bouche à oreille) sur notre Forum au leclerc de St Médard en Jalles ces vendredi et samedi (et d'y participer si possible !!) ainsi que sur notre rencontre contre Toulouse sur notre terrain ce dimanche (coup d'envoi à 11h).

Si certains se sentent l'âme d'organiser un barbecue ou une mini buvette pour cet évènement, n'hésitez pas a me contacter nous feront cette démarche ensemble.


Sportivement,
